@AdamMGrant You truly have a remarkable ability in helping us see the strength and resiliency we all bring when the task seems impossible.

As soon as your freedom of expression serves to minimize the humanity of another, it becomes oppressive. History continues to repeat itself, and we fail to learn from its mistakes.

When you have an open mind, a challenge to your ideas isn’t an attack on you. It’s an opportunity to learn something new. You don’t have to agree with someone's points to benefit from understanding their perspective. Spirited debate clarifies assumptions and sharpens reasoning.

This is truth! 💯

Balance rarely comes from increasing efficiency. It usually involves reducing responsibilities. The more priorities we have, the harder they are to juggle. It's better to do a few things well than be overwhelmed by many. A key to avoiding burnout is deciding what doesn't matter.

Growth mindset. 🌱

...and be this person for others.

The best apology is changed behavior! 🙌

This.

Generosity is not about putting others first. It's about treating people better than they expect—and expecting nothing in return. Showing care is as much about the respect you grant as the time you give. A sign of character is consistently choosing to be kinder than necessary.

Being professional is upholding high standards in low moments. It's caring to do a good job even in jobs we don't love; treat others with respect even if we're disrespected; and do right even if we're wronged. We earn trust by refusing to compromise on competence or character.

Great mentors are learners as well as teachers. Data: when mentors value insights from below, they're more engaged and effective—and their mentees are more successful. Mentoring is not a transfer of wisdom from one to another. It's a relationship where two people grow together.

So you're paying much more than you did a few years ago for basically everything (ie. #inflation). You might be curious as to where all your money ended up. My new report tracks your inflation $ down, but here is the short version 👇🧵1/x @ccpa policyalternatives.ca/publications/r…

Leaders, your job isn't to change people. It's to believe in who they could be at their best, help them to see and believe that, and empower them through support and challenge to become that version of themselves. Believe in and fight for the highest good of those you lead.

Leadership isn’t about position or title, it's about influence through relationship. If you don’t connect, they won’t trust you. If they don’t trust you, you can't lead them. Be about your people.

The edge is in the inputs. The person who consumes from better sources, gets better thoughts. The person who asks better questions, gets better answers. The person who builds better habits, gets better results. It's not the outcomes. It's the inputs.

True commitment to work-life balance is giving people permission to take other priorities as seriously as their jobs. In burnout cultures, people are expected to drop everything for work. In healthy cultures, people are encouraged to protect time for family, health, and leisure.
